GrandDesigner Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 I pretty much agree with all these songs. Like A Song is excellent. It was only played once at the beginning of the War tour, then forgotten by the band forever. I pulled a b-side called Disappearing Act from the internet and am really digging it. It was an unreleased song from TUF sessions, but it's seriously one of the best songs from that period. Anyone ever heard it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I LOVE old U2. Anything prior to All You Can't Leave Behind, and esp. the old stuff from War and Boy are great. Unforgettable Fire is up there on my fave U2 albums list. Here is my list, in no particular order: Indian Summer Sky Wire Stay (Faraway, So Close) <-- love this song Gone Wire Fire The Fly (was a single ac/to wikipedia, but I was a youngin and wouldn't know!) One Tree Hill Trip Through Your Wires Lemon Short of Homecoming Elvis Presley & America I Will Follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Oh and I'm not sure what this stuff they put out in the last few years called "albums" is all about -- it's awful IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also likes "Trip Through Your Wires," so maybe it's a thing for wires or something. And it's "A Sort of Homecoming" not "Short of Homecoming." Just razzin' ya, Jill! No biggie.

GeddyRulz Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I remember when Zooropa came out, everybody - diehard U2 fans included - was going "WTF?? This is pretty weird and doesn't sound like typical U2 at all." The album was getting dissed... But four or five years ago, we were visiting friends in Vermont and a local station was playing the entire U2 catalog in alphabetical order. We'd turn the radio on and off throughout the day, depending on if we were near a radio, and when we were at home we'd leave it on for hours as background music. Hearing all these U2 songs mixed together with no regard for which "period" they were from... well, I thought the Zooropa and other 90s stuff was just brilliant! "Wow! What song is that? Sounds awesome!" Remembering this and typing this now, I'm thinking I should run out and get a copy. U2 are definitely artists. It may not make sense to us at the time and may sound completely different from everything they've done before, but that's where its genius lies. The Unforgettable Fire was also unusual at the time, having come after War, but I think that album is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
